Lycian Trek &
Sail |

Here is
a tour that we wanted unusual: in this area where winter
climate is temperate, we combined the pedestrian hiking
and cruising in a comfortably arranged gullet with a
sympathetic crew.
As Turkey has been called “the cradle of civilisation”,
on this coast with a rich history, added to the amazing
spectacle of a sea with limpid water striking the abrupt
cliffs, you will discover the archaeological richness
dating back to 8th century BC of Greek and Roman cities
which are admirably preserved, with a Lycian necropolis
lost in the vegetation. Turkey has been a sailing
paradise ever since man started to navigate. |

It offers
a multitude of idyllic cruising opportunities in still
unspoilt surroundings, particularly on the Aegean
coastlines - a wonderful area with rocky peninsulas,
thousands of bays, sandy coves and numerous historical
remains.
Through this tour, you will have an excellent approach
of an area rich in archaeological sites and still
non-affected by new civilisation. In the daytime we
follow the trails traced by shepherds on the mountain
flanks with fascinating sea-sights On the way we take
opportunity to discover archaeological sites dispersed
in a luxurious vegetation, with the privilege of
visiting those which are accessible only on foot. At the
end of the afternoon we join our gullet to end the day
with a sea-trip. Each evening choose a different bay for
the anchorage. |
Cruising and hiking on the
Turkish coastline also allows you to experience a truly
enriching cultural exchange with the hospitable and
gracious people of typical coastal villages we cross as
well as with the shepherds who live with their families
in isolate farms, far away from civilisation.
